<p>So, while working on chalk, I've shifted to using rust-analyzer running in VSCode (using WSL2 to run tests and things) -- I have to say, this is really nice. Just wanted to give a shout out <span aria-label="tada" class="emoji emoji-1f389" role="img" title="tada">:tada:</span> to all the amazing progress that's been made since I last tried this. It's one thing to follow the updates, another to take it for a spin.</p>

<p>in some ways yes, in some ways no, but the nice thing about running in WSL is I can Alt-Tab over to use emacs too (eg., to use magit)</p>
